+tori nall - I don't know why it won't let me reply to your comment, but the answer to your question is, it's not clay. He's working on a resin cast of the maquette sculpture. It had to be molded in pieces so he's reassembling it, patching and holes and seams and then painting it. -Maggie
***** some sort of clay. Tim tends to prefer WED clay, but I don't think that he did the original sculpture. Clay type is usually a matter of the artist's preference. Then the clay piece is molded and the resin cast is made. -Maggie
Thanks for the respong Maggie. May I ask, whats used for the mold? Sillicone? (Silly cone, get it??!!! hah) and what sort of resin? Thanks for answering! CHeers :D
Jacob Schmid~ You do not! But you GOT to start SOMEWHERE. What sets you apart? What's your portfolio look like? Are you telling other artists you want this? People in the field? Are you collaborating in your community with your local theatre or 'film kids' who need what you have to offer? You just need to stick your neck out, contact a few pros and start the dialog. WE always recommend honing your technique... and you can find A TON (all levels) on our site. Start there and keep in touch! John
Engraving Equipment SCM 400xs engraver is the most advanced hand piece on the market today which is manufactured from the highest quality materials ... May be it helps one day i saw this... You ROCK!!
VthePhoenix ~ Tim is setting the commercial grade SUPER GLUE into place with another KEY INGREDIENT you'll find at hobby stores - "Zip Kicker". All the pros use this to INSTANTLY 'KICK" the glue so they don't need to spend so much time holding little things in place. Keep your eye on where the GLUE is, though... you can stick all sorts of stuff to YOU. - John

Is their anyway to improve the durability of clay when set? I want to do a lifesize model. Id be using air dry clay but im worried it might break if i move it.
This is incredibly amazing!! I would love to do this for my future but have no idea where to start, what sort of things do you use to get it to such a professional scale? Most people I know use like a wired skeleton and build on using some sort of clay.. Keep up the amazing work!!! :D
Hi I sculpt horses in clay and want to start molding in rubber and reproducing in resin. Do you have a video/mini lesson that covers molding an animal/creature with complex parts/legs? I was going to take the legs off to make the mold. The sculpture will be made in oil based clay so it will be fragile, easily marked by handling. I hope you can help. Thank you.
Hi, I have a question. I have only acrylic paint and brushes. Of course, I wanna get air brush and other stuff but I have no place to use it :/ Anyway, is it possible to paint the monster kit's color naturally only with brushes?? I mean, a boundary line looks too unrealistic when I painted my kit only with brushes. Sorry for my English :(
Stan Winston School I'd heard it was a campy Alien Rip-Off but was surprised it had such good production values, set design, a solid cast (Peter Weller and Richard Crenna) and the effects where great even by todays standards (Better even, but I've really developed a hatred for over used CGI). Only thing I thought was lacking was the ending that felt like it had been picked by a test audience.
Cybopath, Glad you were pleasantly suprised. And we couldn't agree more with your comment about the overuse of #CGI these days. One of our missions is to educate a new generation of filmmakers about the RIGHT way to create believable fantasy characters by mixing all #FX techniques instead of relying on just one. -Matt
Yes and no. It is a violation of the owners copyright, but in a lot of cases (but not all!) selling the original won't get you in much trouble. If you made a mold and sold duplicates (ala selling prints) then you can definitely get in trouble even with some of the more "look the other way" companies. I'm not a lawyer, so this is not legal council in any way, it's just an observation based on general experience. If you get sued, I'm not liable :D (just covering my butt).

Love the creature this looks sick
so what was the material that was used for the original scuplture, then?

The sculpture is made from cast resin poured into a mold. The original sculpt, I believe was most likely a chavant clay. - David
